ROSETTA-Ice launches first Alamo float in Ross Sea
Scott Springer (ESR) was part of the team making the first successful launch of an Alamo (air-launched autonomous micro observer) profiling float in the Ross Sea. The Alamo float measures profiles of temperature and salinity from the surface to the seabed in this difficult-to-reach part of the world. About once per day, the profiler comes to the surface and makes a phone call to send its data home to researchers in the US. Learn more here.
